    I'm finding it hard to fully give in to this film, glorious as it is. On the surface, it's a grand sweeping spectacle - like its brilliant opening title credits (and end credits, too) and lush cinematography. I mean, for these points alone I'm all in. But there's a certain disjointedness, a disconnect to the story, and maybe upon a second viewing I'll find that that's deliberate? Remains to be seen. But there's characters and storylines that just...end, or don't resolve. I dunno.

    This is more than a film. More like an experience, a tone poem.

    "I'm in."

    "I'd knew you'd be back."

    "Three conditions:
    One: You mastermind the plan.
    Two: Bob's on the team."

    "Let's hear the third one."

    "You gotta get me one of these jumpsuits."

    Um, wow. A visual feast of light and mise-en-scène, gorgeous backgrounds & settings balanced with beautiful hand-drawn animation - it all adds up to one brilliant film. Loved KLAUS.
